Your Requirements

An au pair must be responsible, caring and above all, love children. During your interview with Au Pair Link, we will assess your attributes and attitude required to become a successful au pair as well as validate your interest in caring for children.

As an au pair you must be flexible and willing to dedicate your time to your host family and their children – often becoming a significant part of their lives and family.

Helping the children take care of their belongings and tidy their room

Cleaning general communal areas such as the kitchen, living room, hall way, play room, children’s room and bathroom

Taking the children to day-care, kindergarten, school and other activities such as sport

Playing, reading and encouraging the children with their homework as well as maintaining family rules (such as limited TV watching, bedtimes etc)

Babysitting in the evenings

Helping with the household grocery shopping

Washing and organising the child’s clothes and bedding

As an au pair you are generally not responsible for housework that does not relate to the children or communal living areas (that are kept tidy by all family members). Your primary duty is to take care of the children in the home of your host family and help with light housework relating to the children.
